具體描述
TED CHIANG was born in Port Jefferson, New York, and holds a degree in computer science. His fiction has won numerous awards. His first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, has been translated into ten languages. He lives near Seattle, Washington.
From an award-winning science fiction writer (whose short story "The Story of Your Life" was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated movie Arrival), the long-awaited new collection of stunningly original, humane, and already celebrated short stories
This much-anticipated second collection of stories is signature Ted Chiang, full of revelatory ideas and deeply sympathetic characters. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and the temptation of second chances. In the epistolary "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality. And in "The Lifecycle of Software Objects," a woman cares for an artificial intelligence over twenty years, elevating a faddish digital pet into what might be a true living being. Also included are two brand-new stories: "Omphalos" and "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom."
In this fantastical and elegant collection, Ted Chiang wrestles with the oldest questions on earth--What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human?--and ones that no one else has even imagined. And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning, and compassion.

評分 評分##先說一聲，書是在豆瓣書店買的，贈送的書簽真好用，鏤空設計，夾在書裏也不影響閱讀。 纔讀完第一篇《商人與煉金術士之門》，已經決得物有所值。好故事無價。它讓我對如何閱讀小說，有瞭更清晰的認識。 閱讀行為和其他事情一樣，都有人經驗世界的過程。 麵對一個好故事，讀者既...
評分##時間旅行那個故事最好。其他的都太燒腦，讀著略纍。哲學思想通過小故事來講解挺聰明的。雖然對眼下的啓示不多，但很多問題人類早晚都會遇到。
